      Phil Matic rgb might not sacrifice function, but putting pigments in your coolant, that will clog up whatever they come in contact with, definitely sacrifices pretty everything, except (maybe) optics.
      My EK stuff came with rgb, and I use the one on the reservoir to show water temp. and the mono block shows cpu temp. But I dialed the brightness down as much as I could.

      ​@@phil_matic I think it was Gamers Nexus that looked into that at some point. At least RGB ram sacrifices function if you're overclocking it. As the power draw from the RGB would hog up some of the power you throw at the RAM sticks. Which leads to lower max stable clocks at a given voltage.

    There's still audible echo in your audio track. I know you're facing an open area while speaking to the camera. A trick I like to use is to set up a couple of large cloth photo backdrops (or blankets) on either side of the camera(s). They're easy to set up and really good at absorbing or slowing down sound waves.

    Thanks for the review Jay. I do have a question related to headphones and using the Oculus Rift for racing games. When I have my Rift on and use a headphone instead of the included on ear pieces the headphone goes over the straps of the Rift that go on the sides of your head. That's causes the earcups not to seal of for 100% so sound is leaking and I miss a lot of deep tones / bass. Would open back headphones eliminate this issue? Or what headphones would you recommend to be used in conjunction with a VR headset?

    I've got a headset recommendation: The Steelseries Arctus 7, my current headset. Out of curiosity, I checked its settings, and allowed me to crank the format to 16 bit, 48000 Hz, which is a lot higher than that headset you just reviewed. Despite that though I'm not sure the mic holds up as "quality". Then again I'm spoiled because I use a Blue Yeti on a shock mount for my voice, then use the USB audio for surround sound and plug a line in cable from my mic to the wireless receiver to my headset so I can hear my own voice. It's a little complicated. However I'm genuinely curious what your opinions would be for the mic on the Arctis 7 itself, in comparison to the Sennheiser GSP 670.

    Thank you for an informative video. I had the same problem when i gave up finding a good enough wireless headset back in the days. I gave up and ended up flogging my wallet into submission and bought a Beyer Dynamics MMX 300 wired headset. What i did not account for was the power need they had. My integrated sound card could not drive those. :( So there was not enough sound from them. I had however earlier bought on a whim a Sound Blaster ZxR... Yeah.. on a whim.. But had not installed it yet since the setup i had kibda worked and i did not want to corrupt up my setup at the time" (I used the integrated sound card on my ROG Rampage III extreme motherboard, with a Koss portapro with a mic on it. Worked quite good for me at the time, but those portapro's got wore out after a while and koss had discontinued the portapro with a mic. Anyway. Long story short. After i activated the SB ZxR with my now new headsett BD MMX 300 I've been presented for a totally new world. It's no 7 channel "surround" in those" but MAN! With the ZxR activated those are for me pure heaven. I don't have good hearing, but i love my "new* 4-5 years old " setup. I am however still locking for a wireless headset with good mic. So thank you for making this video. :)

    I have some Sennheiser GSP 300's that I got early last year. I didn't have any issues until this past June. When my friends would speak or a video was too loud, even with the microphone in the up (muted) position, it would broadcast S sounds over the microphone. I determined it wasn't the microphone itself, but whatever magnetically shields the microphone wires from the audio driver.
    I'm unsure what headset I should get instead. Suggestions?
